In August, the long tug-of-war between the Federation and the Empire finally came to an end, with the Federation acknowledging the defeat of the war and compensating the Empire with the equivalent of 10 billion star dollars in the equivalent of the 10 billion Star Shield, to be paid over ten years, and until all payments were made, the Empire would control the customs and trade rights between the Federation and the Empire.

Everything is like a repeat of more than twenty years ago, only this time the loser became the Federation.

At the same time, the Empire and the Confederation reached a new agreement after the cease-fire agreement, which was incomprehensible to many people, and the Empire provided "humanitarian" assistance to the Confederation in the form of interest-free loans and material aid every year, and undertook a large amount of urban reconstruction work to help the Confederation restore the cities that had been destroyed in the war.

If it's just a separate item that everyone still knows, to help the Federation rebuild, then the Federation must give money, how to set the price, the builder must have the final say, but why does the empire obviously win the war, but still give the Federation money and things?

There are many people in society who have always adhered to the tone of conspiracy theories that there must be spies from the Federation hidden in the upper echelons of the Empire, so the cabinet made such a mediocre decision under the deception and blindness.

"However, people will never understand that short-term politics can never be wrong, even long-term policies may be wrong, and the wrong thing is not the purpose and people who make the policy, but the progress of the times, which makes the original plan deviate from the goal!"

In Mags's room, Mags sat behind his desk and looked at Durin, who was lazily squinting in the sun, and tapped the table twice with some dissatisfaction, "Do you understand what I said?"

Looking at this lazy boy Maggs made me a little angry, the more contact was made, more natural, and after removing the disguise, Durin was not at all as ...... as he usually behaved Capable. He would always be lazy in the afternoon, and although Mags understood that young people need to grow their bodies and it is normal for them to be sleepy in the afternoon, they are not ordinary people and cannot enjoy everything that ordinary people can enjoy.

This society, this country, has given them so much care and privileges that they have to give up these meaningless wastes of time and think about how to make this empire stronger.

"Ahh ”

I slept a little late last night, and I wanted to pursue the sublimation of my soul with Ophelia, and synchronize my soul before the engagement, but unfortunately, the little girl finally escaped home. Then Kevin found him again, and the two drank together for a while, and the more they drank, the more they drank it, the more energetic they became, listening to a midnight opera, and then exercising for a while before going to sleep.

Now I'm inexplicably sleepy.

Maggs chuckled, a chill in his laughter that made Durin feel a little more energetic.

He knocked on the table and asked, "Hear me, very well, then talk about what you think about aiding the Federation, don't say those bastard things!", he hadn't really explained these things, politics is partly a matter of personal ability to understand, and partly of it needs to be taught, all of which are indispensable.

Why the elite education of the aristocracy can cultivate more elites than ordinary social families, in fact, the reason is very simple, the accumulated experience of each generation will be instilled in the heads of these aristocratic young people in a written way, it seems that everyone is on the same starting line, but others are running, they are driving, and the finish line is slightly ahead.

Lacking this accumulation, Maggs has been "catching up" on Dühring, and when there are new policies, he will use them as case studies to show Dühring, so that he can understand why the cabinet has made policies that seem to be contrary to the mainstream values of society.

This federal aid is a good example of this, something that has not been done before, and Maggs thinks it is something that Doolin needs to understand and understand.

Just looking at Durin's sleepy and listless appearance now, he couldn't get angry.

"Oops!", Durin scratched his head, patted his face to make himself feel refreshed, then thought for a moment and gave an explanation.

"Actually, it's very simple, we take apart the financial aid and the material aid. He lit a cigarette in Maggs's frown, then walked to the windowsill and pushed it open, half-pulling his ass against the windowsill, his actions were really unseemly, but he didn't say anything, some things can be easily reversed, and some things take longer.

Dulin smoked a cigarette and said, "Giving money is nothing more than appeasing the hatred of some remnants of the Federation's extreme resistance to the Empire, elevating this war to the point of a problem between countries by increasing propaganda, and does not involve society and individuals, and uses financial assistance to alleviate the hatred of the entire society towards the Empire." Secondly, after the money enters the Federation, it will accelerate the circulation of Star Yuan in the Federation, change the concept of some Federation people through silent currency invasion, and deepen the recognition of the Federation by the Federation people. ”

"Coupled with the necessary repayment periods, it can further effectively regulate the pressure and growth space of the federal economy. ”

"Actually, to be honest, I think this trick is very low-level, the Federation should have effective countermeasures, and it is very likely that they will use this money as a deposit for the issuance of the Federal Shield, instead of entering the market circulation, unless in the next reconstruction work, all contractors are required to use the Imperial Star Yuan to settle, but I think this is difficult. ”

"Besides, for most of the ordinary people in society, they don't have access to things that are too high-level, maybe for a short time they know that the empire will help them a sum of money every year, but soon they will forget. But the people who really know and enjoy the utility of this money are often the middle and upper echelons of the federal society, and they are all vested interests under the federal system, so they will not spread these benefits. ”

"Let's talk about the issue of material aid, in fact, this problem is the same as the above problem, through the export of industrial standards to achieve the purpose of a silent invasion. Even if only one-third of the cities are using the supplies we aid, the industrial standards of these cities will be implemented according to the industrial standards of the Empire, which means that there will be two standards in the industrial field of the Federation. ”

"In the context of the empire's growing national strength and more advanced industrial level, more enterprises will gradually begin to change their standard selection, from federal standards to imperial standards, and complete the unification of industrial standards. When the industrial development of the empire enters a new field, it is very likely that it will completely replace the federal standard, and let the industrial development of the federation be subject to the industrial development and technological scale of the empire. ”

"The level of industry is an important criterion for whether a country is strong or not, when the industrial environment of the entire federation is complying with the industrial standards of the Empire......"

He took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at Maggs, "When it comes to industry, we have the final say. ”

Maggs nodded in satisfaction, he was a little curious, is there really a god in this world, or some other god or something like that?

Dühring's intelligence, his maturity, his point of view, the way he dissects the problem and his understanding of the problem itself is not at all like a country boy from a farmer's background. It can be said that on many issues, he is more professional than some people who have received a more professional and advanced education, he is like ...... Knowing these things like that from birth, it is inevitable that people will doubt their own understanding of the world.

Many people do not have a very clear understanding of this problem, as Dohring said, when they come to the aid of the Federation's materials, the machinery of industrial production begins to function, that is, when the federal industry begins to collapse.

The simplest example is what happens when the spindle of a million-dollar machine breaks?

Should you spend a few thousand dollars on a spindle of imperial production, or will you bear the pain of spending a million or two to buy a new machine of federalism?

Even if the owner of the machine was a federal official, they would still be able to tell how to make a choice by comparing a few thousand dollars to one or two million.

But where did Dühring get this more remote knowledge?

Mags couldn't figure it out, but that didn't stop him from continuing to appreciate Durin, a young man who was very good in all respects was born in the Empire, and was discovered by him, and then pulled into the circle of the nobility, which was a blessing for the Empire.

As for whether Durin would be a high-level political talent trained by the Federation or other countries to lurk in the Empire, Maggs was not worried at all.

If one day Durin does become prime minister, the first thing he will do is destroy everything that can affect him, including those ethereal speculations.

The undercover agent has become the biggest head, and whoever sends him undercover is his worst enemy.

Of course, we have to continue to investigate, and no matter what, we have to find out where this little bastard knows all this.

"Uncle Mags, how many points can I get on my exam papers?", Durin flicked his hand, and the butt of the cigarette popped out of the window, landing on the sidewalk and splashing a few sparks.

Maggs snorted, "Barely passing......"

"I think I can get an A+, 100 points!", Durin shook his clothes and sat down again.

Maggs gritted his teeth a little and said, "I'm the examiner!"

Now that the armistice has been signed, it also means that the engagement ceremony between Durin and Ophelia is approaching, tentatively scheduled for September.

As the good days approached, the relationship between Durin and Ophelia continued to heat up, and on September 7, the two held an engagement ceremony on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

The main reason is that there are too many people coming, there is no suitable venue, and this engagement ceremony is not very suitable for the palace.

No matter where he was, Magus was always Magus and always Prime Minister of the Reich.

Doolin, after all, is the same Doolin!
